So I went with my gut and saw National Treasure 2, and had a great time. (With the exception of the couple in front of me who brought a passel of children and refused to take their occasionally shrieking youngest kid out into the lobby during his screaming 'fests. Urgh.) These are the only movies I like Nicolas Cage in, I swear. And, Riley! Heh. I love Riley.

I still want to see Juno and Atonement and all the rest, but I was just really in the mood for a total popcorn movie. And it did make me think that I'm probably going to make the effort to go see Cloverfield, which -- my feelings about JJ Abrams aside -- is growing on me. Reading Harry Knowles' review was encouraging, not so much for his opinion as for his description of the format of the movie.

I am currently in possession of my great-aunt's shiny new laptop. She has no idea what to do with it -- like, none at all, not even a little bit -- so I'm going to look it over, get rid of the excess crap she doesn't need, keep the stuff she does, add some things she'll need and doesn't have, and generally have a lot of fun setting up a shiny new computer, even if it isn't mine. WHEEEE. :) (It'll be a lot more fun when I'm setting up Jess's new laptop for her when she gets it, because she'll actually have Internet access so I can do things like set up bookmarks and put on games and make her an LJ she'll probably never use. \o/)

I am also loving that Fly pen. I added music to it and charged it up, and got a good two pages or so of story notes written up at Panera.

Eight Celebrities You Didn't Know Were Geeks

I never thought I'd say this, but oh, man, Dolph Lundgren is awesome.

EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot. Does anybody have the link to that really pastel-laden website to all the incredibly adorable games with all the cute animals and things? I lost the link to it, I can't remember the name of it, and I want to play the game with the monkeys on the vines. (Yes, this is one of the vitally important things that's been plaguing my existence lately. Sheesh.)

I am also loving that Fly pen.

BTW, Target is having a 75% off clearance on toys, and that included Fly software (the packs were like, $1.24 each when we were wandering through today.) You might want to hit your local one and take a look.

Heh. Yeah, I went there the other day for something else, figured I'd go see what they had, and walked out with an extra notebook I didn't need. (But ... but ... but it's 160 pages!)

Please take note:

Pages written in notebook that came with pen -- three
Pages written in journal -- five
Reasons to buy entirely new seven-dollar notebook -- zero (unless PRETTY! counts)

Dolph Lundgren rules. His bio almost makes me want to watch his movies. Almost.

Vin Diesel talking D&D made my squee. "What are my race benefits? What level are the orcs?"

National Treasure is like a guilty pleasure. It was so much fun!

I knew about Natalie Portman, but not about Vin Diesel, and I TOTALLY did not know this about Dolph Lundgren, on whom I've had a guilt secret crush for decades. ::dreamy-eyed::

Kevin Grevioux is geekier than they mention. He currently writes comics for Marvel.

Dolph Lundgren is awesome. He's also fully aware of just how stupid most of his acting career is. Going by interviews, he found it an amusing way to make money and knows exactly how bad an actor he is.
